HAZRAT KHWAJA
MOINUDDIN HASSAN CHISHTY, better
known as KHWAJA GHARIB NAWAZ, is
an exponent of spiritual values,
which give new dimensions to
human life. He had a vision and
a design for a beautiful pattern
of life, pulsating with the
rhythm of life.

Had KHWAJA
GHARIB NAWAZ been living now, he
would not have liked so many of
us living in misery and abject
spiritual poverty. He would not
have liked the modern
self-centered life of ease,
comfort and luxury. He would not
have liked the invidious
distinctions of caste, creed,
color, religion and region.

He would have
disapproved of the mad race of
money and more money.
He would not have
liked to see contentment
occupying a back seat.
He would have
condemned the greed and avarice,
leading to premature spiritual
death of so many people.
He would not have
liked hatred, exercising a
pernicious influence in our
so-called advanced society.
He would have
been sorry to see the mutual
rivalry, mutual recriminations
and mutual distrust influencing
the man of today.
He would not have
liked to see the hungry not
being fed, the thirsty not being
given water, and the helpless
not being helped.
He would not have
been pleased to see constancy,
patience, perseverance and
politeness being treated as
things of the past and as having
out-lived their utility.
He would have
been unequivocally condemned
untouchables, class-war,
groupies, exploitation, ignoble
norms, mores and customs,
affection adversely the moral
fiber of society.
He would have
been sorry to see the people,
not observing the sublime
conventions of life, which are
no other than service, sacrifice
and sharing.
He would not have
liked us to be so absorbed,
engrossed and engaged in futile
pursuits, which tantamount to
eat, drink and be merry.
He would not have
liked to see corruption,
favoritism, nepotism, bribery,
false evidence, smuggling and
evasion of taxes, being so
rampant every where.
It would have
been a little painful for him to
see class-war, sectional
animosities and group rivalries,
leading to the disintegration of
society.
If we really want
to be benefited from the
teachings of KHWAJA GHARIB NAWAZ,
let us then, rise and explore
our seats, and carve out for
ourselves a career, which may
remind us of the oft forgotten
spiritual horizons, which
constitute the corner-stone of
what KHWAJA GHARIB NAWAZ stood
for.
Therein lies
bliss and peace, and there is
also, the perennial fountain of
joy and happiness. Its every
drop serves as a balm of life.
To drink the water of the
fountain of bliss, which KHWAJA
GHARIB NAWAZ provides, is indeed
to get the Elixir of life.
The teachings and
the life, as lived by KHWAJA
GHARIB NAWAZ, should inspire
every individual, to whatever
class, community or country, he
may belong.
Their safety
and security await us.

KHWAJA GHARIB
NAWAZ, by his untiring efforts,
made it possible for an
individual to secure liberation
from social tyranny. His
teachings and his preaching
constitute a mile stone in the
long and arduous journey towards
reformation and renaissance.
In a tottering
civilization, he realized the
need of a different set-up. This
led him to strengthen the
democratic foundations by giving
them social solidarity.
He gave the gift
of the soul, which is, in
itself, a great and lasting
contribution to human happiness.

Let us, then,
choose in all humility and with
all sincerity, the path, shown
to us by HAZRAT KHWAJA MOINUDDIN
CHISTHY.
